Are we using the power of the internet or this page effectively? No! (well not yet anyway)
The revitalised Provincial Website was launched earlier this year
All Lodges and Brethren are actively encouraged to submit items of interest to our Webmaster, WBro. Kevin Gould:
Lodge Events and News?
Anniversaries, special meetings, achievements, historical events, notable events, social activities, photographs, “Interesting” members and their other interests outside Freemasonry, etc., etc., etc.
Attracting Possible Candidates?
Of course, we do not advertise for candidates, neither is this a short-cut to membership however many interested potential candidates do look at our Website.
Alas! There is little to stimulate the reader further about our Area 5 Lodges yet!
Interesting (and significant) fact! Candidates who become members from the Website attend meetings more often and remain as members for longer!
What about Your Very Own Lodge Website?
If you already have one – Great!
If you don’t have one – Why Not? (It’s much easier to create than you might think)
WBro. Kevin Gould, the Provincial Webmaster will be pleased to provide support, guidance and encouragement
Area 5 “News Hounds” – Trial
As a trial, WBro. Gerry Barker will act as the “News Hound” for Lodges and Chapters at Castle Grove.
I have already written to the Lodges that meet at Castle grove confirming the details of this exciting trial.
My plan is to extend the trial to all Centres in Area 5 so I’m looking for volunteers to be the local “News Hound”
What does a “News Hound” do?
I will expect the Brother appointed to each Centre to collate “What’s happening” news and information from lodges in their Centre.
NB. This in no way will prevent any Lodge or individual Brother making a direct submission to our Provincial Webmaster, WBro. Kevin Gould
What about Royal Arch Chapters?
Would we ever forget our Royal Arch Companions? Of course not!
EComp. James Gray, Assistant to the Provincial Grand Principals responsible for Area 5, is an enthusiastic supporter of this initiative. EComp. Gray will be writing to the Chapters at Castle Grove.
Wearing his other hat as EComp. Gerry Barker, the Castle Grove News Hound will also be contacting the Royal Arch Chapters meeting at that Centre.
Interested in becoming an Area 5 “News Hound”?
